Do you have a relative who fought in the Great War with the Canadian
Expeditionary Force? Many of our grandfathers and great-uncles were part
of WWI: Canadians were eager to defend the "homeland," many enlisting
just days after the war was announced. In fact, by the end of its four-year duration 418,000 Canadians had fought in the Great War - 60,000 gave
their lives "for king and empire" and are buried in the fields of Belgium
and France.

The stories of these brave men were often passed down to relatives, and souvenirs from the war, postcards, letters, diaries and photos were often saved. If you have a story or piece of memorabilia associated
with one of Canada's WWI soldiers, we want to post it here. Even something
as simple as the name of the soldier and his regiment, or where he
enlisted, will be included. Help us remember the contribution Canadian
soldiers made to the Great War by helping us build an archive of their
stories.
